Nerlens Noel said early entry to the NBA is not a certainty.

Noel committed to Kentucky last week during a televised special.

“I definitely won’t go in there thinking about one-and-done,” Noel said. “The only thing I need to do is go in there and think about getting better and doing what I have to do for my team to win games and get to a national championship.”

Noel has been projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2013 draft.
